The epitaph in question is described by the English writer as a "delicious blending of the temporal and spiritual, and one which snows that in the olden times the spir- it of successful advertising was al- readly to be found--in the, business world." The verse ran: beneath this stone, in hope of Zion, uoth lie the landlord ot the Lion, His.son keeps on the business still, the heavenly will. Some anonymous joker, who lived in Toronto in the eighties, was evid- ently familiar with this epitaph as the following facts ahow. One of the great merchants who helped to build The consposcr of "Salome" was dic- ing one night.with a party oi! musical tnsnds, when the conversation turr-ed on the compositions of the Kaiser. Some of tlie guests had expressed their opinions pretty freely, when Strauss, put his finger to his lips, UP the commercial prosperity of Tor onto at the time it started to grow in real earnest was the late Robert Waik er.

In a certain parish in one of the counties of Ireland, the congregation aL the Anglican Church numbered on- lrafle marks- a.nd the of the Walk women, at highly. The tacts in regard to the recent munici- pal vote in, Toronto seem to point this way very decidedly. In the sixth sub- division of the Second Ward there were names of women on the vot- ers' list who ifed the legal right to vote for mayor, aldermen, controllers, and school trustees.
